I told my Hubby I needed a fountain to help the words to flow.
It seems in the shower my creative juices, really know how to go.
My Hubby says it’s because I become relaxed, in body and in mind.
That releases everything to flow with ease and...

You Can Run Now
Freedom.

Oh you can run now, I'm setting you free
So for once in your life, accept gratefully
Ignore every time I proclaimed in the past
My arms open wide will, again, be the last
I said that before I won't say it anymore
I'd mean what I say, then you'd...

Eyes Don'T Lie
EYES DON'T LIE...
I've always believed eyes tell a story.
 
From the moment I met you you've 
worn shades to protect the pages in 
your book. Day one I've asked you to
 
remove them. U told me you didn't 
want me to look in your eyes...

Beautiful Sky

that i wanna bask in the rain

The Quality Within Me
The quality that is within me
To see it I had to find the key
Open it up and take a look
It was like a mystery book

So I opened the book and began to read
I was amazed by a single seed 
That was planted in me one...

Holiday Delight
Just for the Holidays so sweet
It is the perfect Christmas treat
To make this special cake so fine
Just use this recipe of mine

Unbleached flour pure and white
About eight ounces is just right
A little butter, a six ounce stick
Four large eggs then stir it quick 

An ounce...

Infringements
These are some but there are many
Having rights infringed upon
Like noisy people before a game
When the National Anthem is sung
Seated not standing-they laugh-running all about
Perhaps they realize not the cost nor care to find it out
Or a constitutional citizen who speaks of freedom’s liberty
Then cries...

An Old Man(0f 37 Years)trying To Fit Into His Jock-E-Shorts
Each day that I get up and greet the new dawn
Posing at the mirror,first..to see what changes have been going on
My eyes cannot look at what lies before me
55'waist on a 5ft 7 frame
These hands reach into the old treasure chest in the closet
I open...

Purgatory Chasm
The autumn leaves crinkle beneath my feet
Their radiant colors dulled
I see the reds and yellows as vibrant as they were
The last time we came here together.

I hold you in my hands,
The way you held me when I was a child.
Your urn jostles softly as I...

Death's Door
Death is a time where people will never breathe
We can’t talk or walk and even squawk about our lives that we lead 

What do you suppose is behind deaths door?
I’m just wondering, because eventually is going to come to us all
Should we be scare? Or...

Assassin's Regime
Clouded vision as I wake up early morning. Just before dawn, so the neighbor's still snoring. Got 2 messages from my boss sounding ticked. So, I got up, took a shower, made my self some breakfast. Gave my sweetiepie a kiss and I walked around...

Here I sit inside this music box collecting dust on this empty, old shelf, I’m left here forgotten, just a trinket, that you couldn’t bear to sell
You used to make time for me everyday and loved to watch me dance, you would wind up the...

Twas the Night Before Christmas
ANOTHER VERSION
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the shack
All the creatures were stirring; even the roaches in the crack.
The children were jumping and playing in the bed,
While neighbors were drinking and smoking and being drug heads.
And mom in her t-shirt and me in...

Mail Order Personalities
I'm checking the post daily
Can't tell you how exciting this is for me
Since I called the 1-800 number
From that mail order magazine

While one day sitting at the dentist
I picked up said magazine
A full page ad which made me gasp
A colorful array of personalities

I've never really...
